WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT there was a spectacularly blue crater lake with a spiritual significance to an equally beautiful tribe in South Mindanao Spectacular enough that I throw every superlative in existence at the title It exists and it's called LAKE HOLON THE YEAR WAS 2016 I was in Davao and I saw a shot of this place from a plane with the land around it It dominates the landscape with its beauty and deep blue water I said that I had to go there And so I did But then the morning of the climb disaster struck I was sick I had low back pain I was vomiting my body was weak But I swore that I would go there And I made it And so began my love affair with this place It has become my healing place It's a spiritual place with 15 Guardians protecting it and everyone travelling here should respect the traditions and culture of the tribe It's a 3-4 hour trek gruelling in places but it is absolutely worth it once your eyes catch a glimpse of this beautiful lake Speaking of the Tboli tribe - I wanted to give this video a tribal element because this is their sacred place And the living legend of the lake Ma Sinam Muan gave a very very exclusive interview to me he does not speak to many people on camera and I have to thank my friend and guide David Suanzon so much for bridging this gap I love this place It is incredibly special This is Episode 2 of 5 of my Tboli series ----- DAVID SUANZON is the hands down best tour guide to Lake Holon and indeed in the whole Tboli area He knows the stories he understands and appreciates the tribe and really loves what he does He does packages for 2000 pesos per head overnight including all fees and food and you can contact him on 09516582101 Otherwise go through the Tboli Municipal Tourism Office who can also be very helpful but there are lots of little fees here and there to pay if you do it that way But honestly go with David The personality the stories the tribal learning it's all worth it Porters are available for 30 pesos per KG each way MERCHANDISE NOW AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE Get it here - https shop spreadshirt com kumanderdaot Follow me on FACEBOOK - https www facebook com kumanderD Daily updates on INSTAGRAM - https www instagram com kumanderdaot If you want to EMAIL ME - anselmpb googlemail com Support me on PATREON - as little as 5 a month helps me create better content https www patreon com kumanderdaot LIKE MY MUSIC Get a free one month trial of Epidemic Sound This helps me out too https www epidemicsound com referral h8cbkx WANT TO SAVE ON INTERNATIONAL MONEY TRANSFER I've been using TransferWise for years It is absolutely the best option for quick and cheap remittances https transferwise com invite u anselmp 00 00 Intro 00 29 Kule - Jump-Off Point 02 12 Starting The Trek 04 43 Station 1 - Going Into The Forest 07 06 Kini Hot Spring 09 55 The Final Ascent 10 54 The Viewpoint 11 42 Going Down To The Lake 13 00 Lakeside 14 09 Story Of The Lake with Ma Sinam Muan VERY SPECIAL 18 54 Back On The Lake 19 31 Bamboo Chicken 21 52 Outro David's Contact Details Are In The Description
